Outpost Inn Coffee + Wine Bar
✦

Known For

Natural-light mornings that slide into easy wine evenings

Outpost Inn Coffee + Wine Bar threads bright and airy café energy with a cozy nook intimacy that's surprisingly hard to pull off. The exposed brick and charming storefront make it one of Highlands' more photographed corners.

🕐Best time to visit: Mid-morning when the light pours through the front windows

Our Take

Outpost Inn Coffee + Wine Bar has a compelling dual identity — sunlit espresso by day, wine bar by evening — wrapped in a bright, exposed brick setting. The perfect score is promising but with only 20 reviews, it's still too early to call it a destination, making it a solid nearby stop for now.
